The power of one conjecture for majority dynamics on random graphs

Let ρ(k,n)\rho(k,n) be the probability that Red wins when Red's camp initially has size n/2+kn/2+k, with edge probability p=.5p=.5. The power of one conjecture. There is a constant b4>0b4>0 such that

ρ(1,n)1/2+b4\rho(1,n)\geq 1/2+b4

for all sufficiently large nn. This conjecture asserts that a single initial-vote advantage gives Red a nontrivial asymptotic advantage; the paper reports numerical evidence but does not establish the claim.
